About Us

Exterior view of the Royal Oak Detroit Elks Lodge #34 building.

Since its charter, Royal Oak Detroit Elks Lodge #34 has been one of Oakland County's most active fraternal halls, drawing members and guests who want more than a meeting room. The lodge at 2401 E 4th St sits just off the main corridor of Royal Oak, a city known for its independent spirit and tight-knit neighborhoods. That energy carries right through the front door.

The facility is genuinely versatile. On any given weekend you might find a Michigan Photographic Historical Show filling the main hall with collectors and camera enthusiasts, or a Pokemon trade show drawing vendors from across the state. The bar and restaurant keep things lively between sessions, and the staff knows how to pivot from a casual Friday night to a fully catered private event without missing a beat.

Guests consistently note how clean and well-organized the space is, with room configurations that actually work for food stations, seating areas, and vendor tables. The bathrooms pass the test, the sightlines are good, and the hall scales well whether you have 40 people or a packed house. That combination of flexibility and care is what keeps community groups, hobbyist organizations, and families coming back to Lodge #34 year after year.

What We Offer

The lodge offers several distinct spaces that can be reserved individually or together, making it a practical choice for events of almost any size. The main hall handles trade shows, expos, receptions, and milestone celebrations, with enough square footage for vendor tables, a dance floor, or a banquet layout depending on what you need.

The bar and restaurant operates as a genuine gathering spot, not just a side amenity. Members and guests can grab a drink before an event or settle in for a meal after a meeting. The lodge also hosts regular fraternal programming, including community service initiatives tied to the Elks' national mission of supporting veterans, youth, and local charities.

For event rentals, the team works with organizers on setup logistics, catering coordination, and room configuration so that show promoters, family parties, and corporate groups all get a space that fits their specific needs. Reach out through royaloakdetroitelks.com to check availability and get details on membership or event booking.

The Order · Since 1868

Join the Elks
A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
